What to see in Perth

Perth Attractions

Sunbathe, indulge in some wine tasting, shop for pearls, wander
the waterfront of Fremantle, or visit the funfair. These are just
some of the many diversions that draw people to enjoy a holiday in
Perth, Australia's laid-back, remote western city, which is
surrounded by some stunning scenery, including lovely, sandy
beaches.

Anyone and everyone will find plenty to do and see on a holiday
in Perth. The city is packed with attractions to suit everyone,
especially food-lovers, who will find more restaurants here per
capita than in any other Australian city. With an abundance of
fascinating local wildlife and nature on its doorstep, Perth has
plenty to offer families travelling with kids.

Pristine sandy beaches mean there's hours of fun in the sun to
be had on Perth's family beaches, such as Cottesloe Beach and
Leighton Beach, but be sure to pack plenty of sunscreen as the
Australian sun can be ruthless. Another great outdoors option is
the Kings Park and Botanic Garden where visitors can hike, bike or
just relax in the shade with a picnic.

The Perth Zoo is the perfect place for animal lovers, while the
Aquarium of Western Australia is not to be missed either. The
Museum of Childhood is great for kids.

The Perth Sightseeing Pass is useful for those planning to do a
lot of sightseeing, and parents should grab a copy of The Parent's
Paper, free every month, for ideas on attractions and events for
kids.
